HOW ITS USEDsystem6000 START-UP

A system6000 protected truck cannot begin its daily operation without system6000 being enabled.

The daily start-up process is automatic and is activated by the touch of a GREEN or BLUE key. It takes between 30 and 120 seconds depending on the gas sensing technology applied.

system6000 SHUTDOWN

If gas/vapour is detected at 10% LEL the driver gets visual/audible warnings and should drive away from the area warning any colleagues of the imminent danger.

If gas/vapour levels rise to 25% LEL the truck will automatically be brought to a controlled stop preventing any explosions and protecting the friver and site.

system6000 OPERATION

After the start-up procedure is complete, the truck operates as normal with the driver and equipment protected under the “umbrella” of system6000 explosion protection.

system6000 RESTART

Once the truck has shutdown, it cannot be re-started without the permission of the “Person in Authroity” e.g. Site Manager, Safety Manager, Works Engineer.

When they consider it is safe to resume operations they can apply the system6000 RED key. The system will check the area is gas free before an automatic gas test allows truck to restart.

APPLICATIONSsystem6000 is specifically designed for all types of diesel engine and battery electric mobile equipment. Each system6000 conversion is custom-made to work with your equipment so that it retains all of its original specification, safety and ergonomic features.

system6000 is certified to IECEx for global operation and allows your employees to operate within a potentially explosive area risk free, making it the safest solution for companies who value their people above all else.
